I thought the reason to take the passives was that, with all 3, you get up to 60%(ish, iirc) damage resistance as ur health drops.

Sounds good to me :-)

Maybe thats the 15-20% figure you had in your head Raz

I have a Kat/SR at 25 atm & it's definatley noticeable on 1/4 health that the dmg is reduced. (with agile & dodge so far)

[/ QUOTE ]

It might be.. recovering from a mild flu bug -- so I might have got my number working crosswired.. but yes.. the Passives, since we got the DMG res added for SR is very cool.. gives us that edge where we need it at low HP.

fair enough.. lol

[ QUOTE ]
Then that's 3 powers to get +5% def to all attacks :P

[/ QUOTE ]

Agile: 5% vs Ranged
Dodge: 5% vs Melee
Lucky: 5% vs AoE


I just never clarified WHAT the DEF was for, nor did I say Vs ALL. It was the individual DEF-base combined which is.. 15% DEF. Unless my Maths suddenly decided to go weird.. 5+5+5 = 15 ?

In game mechanics, combined it's 5% DEF to All "DIRECTIONAL ATTACKS" (best to clarify this) ... but I like to keep it simple rather than maybe confusing some new players that will read this later on, that haven't ever used SR before.


That and as anyone with SR wud know.. the DEF powers are vs what they're assigned to.. and I didn't believe I had to explain what each passive did as no only do they tell you ingame.. but I like to assume that by level 38 you WOULD know anyway, and I believe dipstar would know already

I give dipstar more credit than some, I think.

15-20% passives? its 5% in my builder

[/ QUOTE ]

I was adding them up

do maths:


Agile: 5%
Dodge: 5%
Lucky: 5%
Total: 15%

Again.. he would lose 15-20%

as the correct value = 5.625% base / 8.78% 3 slotted.

[ QUOTE ]
Raz, was thinking of respecing out my passives to allow me to get aid self in before 30, what do you think???

[/ QUOTE ]

mmm.. you cud do I guess... I can't see what harm it would do.. you'd only lose the DMG RES-Scrapfiance inherent, as well as about 15-20% DEF the passives add up..

But, you should be ok, I guess.

[ QUOTE ]

every secondary except evasion and my travel power is sprint!


[/ QUOTE ]


You want Evasion!!!

It's the last thing really you need -- minus Elude -- to become a DEF master, and since::

Evasion-Toggle:: is DEF 21.375%-base vs AoE.
Lucky-Passive:: is only 5.624% base DEF vs AoE

You OHHHHH so want Evasion! and love it!

You don't take it and you're asking for trouble, as the passive isn't enough alone to help you. You can do without the passive as long as you take the Toggle.

[ QUOTE ]
Hmmmmm. Actually you've sown a seed of doubt in my brain now. I had always assumed it still needed to-hit.

[/ QUOTE ]
I nearly posted before to possibly dispute what you said, but I wasn't entirely sure either, so I didn't post.

The Devs have said LR is the only -regen debuff that is unresistable. Either that means the -regen part is auto-hit (and only the -rchg and -spd parts of LR need a hit to work), OR possibly AVs/EBs/GMs have some way to resist -regen debuffs (like /SR defence sets have a chance to resist all/part of defence debuffs) which would mean LR is the only power that circumvents that resist. Either way I'm confused

[/ QUOTE ]

iirc the -regen debuff on LR, is kinda broken (sorry, no source for it.. just something I remember was said a while ago.) as it doesn't do all it's meant to.. so I think for safety sake keep ur two ACC in there, as I don't think the -REGEN is autohit, as I have seen it on my Ill/Rad miss and not affect the critter in question at all, critter-status debuff aura and all.

Loud yes

but we kick [censored] like no ones business.

Shout is FTW!
You want to keep Shout!
Shout hurts things alot with BU+Amplify+PowerBoost!

I personally wouldn't be taking Screech.. tho Jum has.. so it's on personal preference really, and he'll be able to help you more on that one power slotting.

TF is bugged :: it doesn't AUTO-Exemp you.

[/ QUOTE ]

cause it aint a TF

[/ QUOTE ]

Nor is the Respec tis a "Trial" same as the "Eden-Trial" but under game mechanics, it's still a Task Force

And it IS supposed to Exemp you otherwise you can have level 50s running around in a trial for 38-42 -- but you can't "complete" the TF without 38-40s due to the Temps restrictions.

[ QUOTE ]
okay i dont kknow much about the lvl ranges or how to really do it as ive only tried it once and the team failed how ever... I REALLY WANT TO TRY THE SEWERS TRIAL ON MH!!!!

only trial she needs now (sme with stone but meh) soooo whose up for a bit of fun with ritki/hydra monster

[/ QUOTE ]

Level :: 38-42
Gained :: Via a special contact at Level 38
TF is bugged:: so if your not under 42, you don't get the Temps.. no Temps = no compete TF
TF is bugged :: it doesn't AUTO-Exemp you.

Just because CoV has something, doesn't mean CoH should have it too...


[/ QUOTE ]

You are grossly underestimating how much some people hate PvP requirements for something perceived as PvE content.. I mean most of this thread was about that..

[/ QUOTE ]

Rather than misjudge it..

I'll take your word for it and say::

"down with PvP requirements!" - *gets murderous mob with torches and pitchforks*

OMG .. my home is going to be invaded by raving mad-men and women!!!!!!



NOOOOOOOOOOOOOES!!!!!!!!!!



Took me a week to clean up after the last mad-house to do a TF here!

[ QUOTE ]

I'm trying to think of something witty-reason like "because CoV has it, so CoH should."

[/ QUOTE ]

That IS the reason.. CoV has PvP requirements for accolades, CoH does not.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ohhhhhhh I see.. ok..

well.. ermm ok.. ::

CoV has elec/elec brutes.. we want elec/elec Tankers..
CoH has Ice/Ice Tankers.. we want Ice/Ice Brutes..
CoV has Energy Aura Stalkers.. we want Energy Aura Scrappers...

In fact, I bet a Brute would look nice with a War Mace or Axe.. mmmm *thinks*



Why?

Because CoV has it.. so CoH should too..

What use would that have to the game?

Because CoV has it.. so CoH should too..



Just because CoV has something, doesn't mean CoH should have it too...

...but then, if that was the case, we'd have all of the above and more.

I'm probably late into this thread and it's so big I'm not gonna read 10 pages of the same thing, repeated over and over again...

Personally, I don't think people hate PvP.. I think people HATE the moronic-idiots that enter PvP zones and make it unenjoyable in every possible way they can think of, and then some.. or maybe that's just my opinion about some of the player-base.. *shrugs*.

When PvP was brought out, it was nice.. people enjoyed it.. but NOW people are seeing one common thing...

... PvP has brought out the ******* in people in some cases.

Those you thought were friends are now complete donkey-holes..

PvP has done both GOOD and BAD things for the community...

Like the old saying goes.. "heros and villians may not like each other.. but even enemies can show respect" -- something that is lacking in PvP-CoX these days.






Anyway, that's my view on "liking/disliking" PvP.

But I have to ask this myself, uncase I missed it...

[ QUOTE ]
I'm not saying they should add them to existing ones, but that the new ones they eventually give us should have PvP requirments.

[/ QUOTE ]

Mmmm.. ok.. Why?


Why SHOULD they have PvP requirements...

I'm trying to think of something witty-reason like "because CoV has it, so CoH should." or "because it'll get more people to go into PvP Zones" or "it'll add a elemental risk factor to it (even tho this is a stupid reason because it's directly the same as the PvP reason, only reworded).

But, all I'm coming up with is the same old junk about "more players into PvP to expand the player choice blah blah blah"..

mmmmmm........ don't get it.. why should if any, new accolades need to have PvP requirements, when there is nothing wrong with the hero-side ones.. what possible "use" would the introduction of "PvP related requirements" to new accolades, have?

[ QUOTE ]
I've just had to remove a fair chunk of this thread.

Please don't hijack threads where people are tring to organise a play session to express your opinions about the style of play they are organising.

If you genuinely feel that the dozens of previous threads discussing people's opinions and feelings about power levelling haven't covered the subject completely enough, feel free to start a new thread about the subject.

Thanks.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sorry, Bridger.

I just see the words "power levelling" and think "What the Hell..."

That depends really.. sure Quickness Swift and Sprint slotted x3 is nice.. but you lack forward gain and it will still take a while to get from A to C.

Stalkers it doesn't usually matter as they get the most benefits from it by but that only usually applies to Spine Stalkers that can bring fliers down.

non Spines AT.. mmm.. touchy.. as you have no way to get "vertical" or somewhere very fast, so easy -- making you less as effective as you could be.
